Adventures in Minecraft: The Final Series!

Things left behind

(As GrailMore)

I woke up to what sounded like a helicopter taking off. I immediately, with only a robe covering me, ran up to the helipad in hopes of seeing what's going on. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the roof, the helicopter was already too far away to do anything. I had decided to walk back to my bedroom to get dressed, when I saw a note on my nightstand I picked it up and it read:

I am sorry that I left without any warning, but I knew if I told you, you would want to go, and I didn't want you to get hurt. So I set up a way that if I don't come back within two days, that you could save me and protect yourself from harm. Go to Sideline's old lab, go to the upstairs training room. In that room at the center there should be some loose floorboards. Under them, there should be a safe. The safe is locked, and can only be opened by a pass phrase. The phrase is 'Butter'. Inside that safe is a scroll with a blood seal on it, along with a gold/iron sword with an emerald in the hilt. Take them, but only use the scroll when you know I, or you are in life threatening danger. To use the scroll, read the inscription on the inside.

I love you and good luck

-Ethan

I almost cried, but I shook off the feeling, and made it my top priority to save everyone. After I had gotten dressed, I folded the piece of paper, put it in my backpack, and grabbed my iron sword. I then went to find the Blacksmith. I walked into the fortress lab to see the Blacksmith working on creating a new explosive. I walked up to him and asked "I need to go to Sideline's old lab" he shook his head and replied "Ethan told me that I can't let you leave after him and the others" "But I am not going after them… I am getting something that could potentially save us all. Ethan told me go to the lab in a note he left me" I took out the note and showed it to him, he nodded and said "It says two days though" "I know it does, but if I have the stuff beforehand then we won't have to worry about it later… and… they could also be dead within two days, maybe even one" He thought silently for a second then said "The ATV is in the garage, if you move fast enough, you'll make it by morning" I nodded and said "Thank you, I'll keep in contact" I then walked down to the garage, took the ATV, and drove at top speed, driving as fast as I could to accomplish my mission.

I arrived at Sideline's lab a few short hours later. Once I dismounted from the ATV I was called by the Blacksmith, over the radio he said "Are you there yet?" "Yes, but before I hang up, I need to ask, do you know anything about this 'scroll' and emerald sword that Ethan wants me to get?" There was silence for a couple of minutes; when he responded "Sideline was talking to me once about the aftermath of Ethan's father's fight against Jeb. He told me that when, they were still patching up Robert's wounds, everything was working, but his excess power was still killing him from the inside because his body, in its weakened state at the time couldn't handle all of it. So Setosorcerer sealed all of Robert's excess power inside of a scroll. Sideline was then tasked to hide it somewhere. The emerald sword was Ethan's mother's given to her by his father so she could protect herself" I smiled and thought I see the pattern here. I replied "Thank you. That gives me something to work with" I then turned off the radio and walked into the building in search for the safe.

As I walked through the front entrance, I drew my sword, being prepared for anything. I was already half way up the stairs when I heard the moaning of a zombie, I turned around to see three zombies coming after me, and I knew I couldn't take them all at once right at the moment, so I ran up the stairs. When I got to the top stairs, I looked for the entrance to the training room when I saw a painting of two people in martial art outfits fighting each other, I had crazy idea, and so I decided to tear open the painting. I tore it open to see a pair of doors, I walked through the doors to see the training room, as I said to myself "Sideline you crafty genius" I then tried to locate the center of the floor. I noticed there was a spiral patterned rug that encompassed the entire room, so I followed the spiral to the center, only to hear a creaking sound as I stepped. I then sliced open the rug and pried open the floorboards, to see, as Ethan said, an iron safe. With all of my strength I managed to lift the safe out of the hole and set it on the floor. I blew all of the dust off of the safe, to see the small microphone that was attached to the lock. But as I was about to say the pass phrase, I forgot what it was. I looked around the room to see if there was anything that could jog my memory. Then I saw a frame of a gold ingot and… it hit me. I looked back at the safe and said "Butter" and it opened. I opened the safe carefully, to see the scroll and the sword, but as I took the sword out of the safe, the zombies had finally reached the doors to the training room. I set the emerald crested sword back down and took out my iron sword, and stood fast. Once the zombies had breached the doors, I threw my iron sword at them, actually managing to slice their heads off. I knew the noise would attract more attention to the building, so I opened my backpack and put the sword in it, while putting the scroll, instead, in my inner jacket pocket. I started walking out of the place when, suddenly, a white light surrounded me, and I passed out.

I awoke to the sound of a crowd cheering, I opened my eyes to see that I was in what looked like an observation room. I got up slowly and looked out of the large window, noticing that I was looking over a huge arena. I looked closer at the arena to see two combatants fighting each other. I squinted my eyes as I tried to get a better look. When I saw Gaara fighting Tid. They were exchanging blows back and forth, over and over again. When Gaara won, he left the arena, and that's when the announcer said "Our next fight is the final round! Our two challengers of this tournament fight each other. ETHAN VS GAARA!" I gasped thought this is some sick game! The announcer went on to say "First it was Ethan vs. the mutant mobs, then it was Gaara vs. The Wither, then it was Ethan vs. Herobrine, Jeb, and his mother. Then it was Gaara vs. his mother, then it was Ethan vs. Robert, then it was Gaara vs. Tid. NPC's and mobs alike, it all comes down to this final match!" I then yelled "I KNEW IT, THIS IS SOME SICK GAME!"

I looked around the room, to see a man, well dressed, sitting at a computer typing some words, I walked up to him, looked at the screen to see what he was typing, it looked like a narration of some sort, it entailed everything that was happening, or has happened. I looked back at him and said "Who are you?" he spun in his chair and said "Oh, I am the writer… I… I mean I'm nobody" and then disappeared.
